Know Before You Go! - Your Washington State Community and Technical Colleges (CTCs) and University Residency Status Does Not Transfer to other CTCs and Washington State Universities When You Apply for Admission and Are Admitted
When getting ready to transfer to a four-year public university in Washington State or to attend a different Community and Technical College, it's important to look closely at the school you want to transfer to and understand their requirements for resident tuition. Your residency status at any educational institution in Washington doesn’t carry over to other schools. Make sure you understand both the requirements and how to apply for residency before you apply for admission. Please email the Residency Coordinator with questions.
